Default sputtering at a stop

My 06 Tribute has a rough idle at a stop light today. In neutral I gunned to 4k rpm and it sputter and won't go past 4k.

Is it the plugs?

It drives fine and has good pick up.

How many miles on this Tribute? The symptoms you are describing are typical of bad coil packs, which usually start failing after 100K miles.
